HOROSCOPE – January 8, 2014

Aries (3/21-4/19) You may be ruffling some feathers as you blast through the week like a comet blasting through outer space. You may be going too but they will catch up, and if they don’t, they shouldn’t. Enjoy the breeze in your hair on this trajectory, for this too will pass.

Taurus (4/20-5/20) You are feeling miffed, slighted by someone who’s attention you want, but they are unaware of their offense. Although this may seem to prove your point, it makes a more important one. How important is it? You are always right, but sometimes, it is better to be happy.

Gemini (5/21-6/20) The stars continue to tie you up in knots of self-doubt and uncertainty. You have been waiting when it is so difficult for you, and yet. One you need to lean on is right there, waiting with you, so the news is not all bad. Hang on; it is worth the wait.

Cancer (6/21-7/22) Feeling stifled with the ho-hum everyday responsibilities? You long for escape, but irresponsible fantasies are only that. Try meditation, a massage, movie night with the phone off-some “me” time is better than none.

Leo (7/23-8/22) You are finding it difficult to say what you have to say. Burying your head in the sand will never solve your problems. The only way out of them is to hit them head on and get them behind you. You will feel so much better when you get it off your plate and chest.

Virgo (8/23-9/22) Privacy and solitude are what you crave, but you are so focused on getting away, you might be careless with those you temporarily leave behind. Pluto continues to stomp around you and sometimes steps on the toes of those you do not mean to trample. Be gentle as you go.

Libra (9/23-10/22) You have strong loyalty, but you need to re-evaluate your priorities. Are you spread so thin, entertaining and winning favor from ego-feeding fans that you aren’t connecting with those who count? Be discerning with your attention this week. Time is too precious to casually throw around.

Scorpio (10/23-11/21) This is an “off” week for you; “off the beaten path” and “off duty.” You get some new experiences and distractions from the troubles plaguing your mind of recent past. This week will give you a fresh look at some old issues. Make sure you have as much fun as possible, right now!

Sagittarius (11/22-12/21) It is hard to top the weekend you just had, basking in the glow of admirers and running from hip scene to cool gathering. This week will feel somewhat anticlimactic, but rest on your laurels for now.

Capricorn (12/22-1/19) You are ready now to do what you need to do to steady the path and make your journey with some calm and some peace. It is a long harrowing path but you will take it one step at a time. You will succeed.

Aquarius (1/20-2/18) You are coming to the end of a major transition period in your life. Things that once seemed so far away are now upon you. Continue to do the work of packing up the past and unpacking the future. You have much to do before you are done.

Pisces (2/19-3/20) You don’t always come across to others as you mean to. Sometimes, your “jokes” just aren’t funny to anyone but you. You tend to dismiss this incongruence as “their problem,” but are you so sure? Maybe you do need to be clearer and more careful with how you come across.
